Situated in northern Italy along the river Olona, Milan is a city that offers a great range of culture with a breathtaking touch of history. Join the Italians in their daily life – take a boat tour along the coast or sit down with a Martini in a cosy bar. This city offers endless possibilities: experience the huge art collections and museums, sample the sparkling nightlife or simply stroll around looking at all the beautiful buildings.

As one of Europe´s leading fashion and design centres, Milan offers countless shopping opportunities, with exclusive stores filled with things like clothes, leather and glass goods from famous designers. Milan has more to offer than fashion though – for example, you can also visit Il Duomo, the iconic Gothic cathedral in the heart of the city. Besides the attraction of the city’s cultural and fashion scene, you´ll also find the successful football teams FC Internazionale (Inter) and AC Milan. If you can find the time, try and get to a home game during your visit.

SIGHTS IN MILAN

IlDuomo – cathedral in the centre of Milan that took over 500 years to build. A true architectural masterpiece where visitors can go up to the roof and enjoy spectacular views.

La Scala – the opera house, where many of the world’s greatest stars perform. Take the opportunity to enjoy the wonderful acoustics, but be sure to book your tickets early.

Santa Maria delle Grazie – want to see Leonardo Da Vinci’s famous painting ‘The Last Supper’ in the flesh? Book your tickets before visiting; also worth a visit is Pinacoteca di Brera, home to Milan’s largest art collection.

Since the city has a huge football following with its two teams, we also recommend seeing a match during your stay. The San Siro stadium has a capacity of 80,000 – a true football experience. If you can’t get to the stadium, why not go to a bar to watch a game?
